Posters

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.

They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.

May The Sun Always Shine

Original pencil drawingInspirationCan you imagine if each one of us were given a garment the day we were born, and every tear, every achievement, every important event, every challenge, every overcoming, every victory, every sadness and every joy… were embroidered or sewn into it, like a tapestry of your life… it would be most splendid by the end, pearls for tears, diamonds for accomplishments, feathers for carefree moments, and it goes on and on….this is how my splendid dress developed into such a wealth of beads and beauty, by the end I’d left a beautiful legacy behind, and as I went along in life, I could look upon the garment and recall the journey of my life, and take in all that I’d achieved…and all that I’d endured… and I could think….you’ve done well…you’ve done well… you’ve helped others, you’ve grown and changed, you’ve been thoughtful, you felt pain and you suffered, but you overcame, etc..here is my dress which i visualised embroidered and embellished with my life, joys and sorrows… my life, my legacy, in a dress…..O sew my tears into my dress of opulenceand regard them as splendouradd the moon and the starsthose diamonds in the skyadorning my garments…I wore my joy upon my breastand there a zebra finch cameto fashion his nest…If i ever lost my way orif I ever went astraythe embroidered dress wouldguide my way….Silently it spoke of my lifein every living pearltho not blessed with brainsit held within it’s seamsprecious memories in everysatiny thread.….Tho not blessed with breaththe dress had depththo not exposed to life’s hardshipsit was worn in placesthough not able to form friendsI loved the dress dearly and didbond with it some ways…It gave me comfort, as it shared my burdensand from it I drew strength, as I gatheredup my cotton and thread…..I wove into it’s seams a tokenfrom every joy, a trinket for every child,a pearl for every blessing, a colour of therainbow for every wonder of nature,a ray of sunshine for every act of kindnessand the dress endured beyond me,like a traveller thru time…

She is ever so pretty. Love the colours and details in her dress and her lovely smile. She reminds me a bit of a gypsy fortune teller with the drapes in the back, the spiderwebs, roses and feathers and the ornaments on her dress.

aw, thank you! I think you’re right she’s got a bit of the gypsy about her, perhaps she’s a gypsy queen :) .. she is sporting a little rose tattoo on her shoulder too… x

Such beautiful colours here Karin and I loved reading about the ‘inspiration’…did you write this poem?

Yes an interesting concept wearing a garment for life. I suppose we don’t even wear our skin for life do we…because it is constantly changing and being renewed like all our other organs and their cells. Infact we aren’t the same body we came into this world with.

Tapestry of Life…would be very complex indeed. I think that people love making quilts because they sometimes attempt to capture some of their lives in it (memories)…eg. the party dress at age 5 or the special dress made by grandma, also a great way to recycle worn out things and preserve them.Always a delight to view your work dear friend ~ Anni xxoxx

Hi Anni, thank you very much – yes, i wrote the poem :) as i drew this, many words came to mind, and from them i fashioned a poem..i just jotted all the words as they came at different intervals down on the back of the paper where she’s drawn…and those words formed the poem for the most part….…Yes, it’s a similar idea to that of quilting.. exactly…i sometimes feel my life isn’t worthwhile, it helps me at those times, to visualise … this is just one way of seeing the ‘whole picture’ and that a bad moment, isn’t necessarily all there is…there is so much more :) x
